Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall
พระที่นั่งอนันตสมาคม
Dusit's Carrara-marble dome behind the Rama V statue — the grandest silhouette in the royal quarter. Interior closed since 2017; the plaza is the view.
The Carrara-marble throne hall Rama V commissioned from Italian architects — a Renaissance dome rising improbably over Dusit's parade ground behind the equestrian statue. The interior has been closed since 2017; the plaza view at golden hour is the visit.
